バグダッドの30マイル西方ファルージャで米軍に抗議して投石したイラク市民に対して米軍が発砲した。結果、15人が死亡し、50人が負傷した模様。【略奪も民主主義の内とほざいた国が、投石くらいで銃乱射で殺すとは、、。】

Fifteen Iraqis Reported Dead in Shooting
Tue April 29, 2003 03:33 AM ET
By Nadim Ladki
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Al-Jazeera television reported on Tuesday that U.S. troops
had fired on a crowd west of Baghdad, killing 15 Iraqis, as the United States
announced it was sending more troops to boost security in the capital.
The report by the Arabic satellite television station could not be independently
confirmed. It said 50 people were also wounded in the shooting at Falluja, 30
miles west of Baghdad.
U.S. forces announced they were holding Saddam Hussein's veteran oil minister,
Amir Muhammed Rasheed, whose wife is bioweapons scientist Rihab Taha -- widely
known as Dr Germ.
He was number 47 on a U.S. list of the 55 most wanted members of Saddam's
administration and the six of spades in a deck of cards issued to American
troops hunting former Iraqi leaders.
The United States has now captured 14 of those on the list. Leading Iraqis
agreed at a meeting on Monday with the U.S. administrator of postwar Iraq to
hold a conference within four weeks to choose an interim government, ushering in
democracy after three decades of Saddam's iron rule.
But U.S. forces still face pockets of resistance and have had problems asserting
control in some parts of Iraq. They said they killed at least six Iraqi
fighters in the northern city of Mosul during a heavy firefight on Monday
evening.
Al-Jazeera, which is based in Qatar, said U.S. soldiers fired on a crowd after
someone threw a stone at them.
The channel, which is widely watched across the Arab world, did not specify the
source of its information.
U.S. Central Command in Qatar said it had no information and U.S. Army
commanders in Baghdad were not available to comment.
Jazeera's Baghdad correspondent said up to 200 people had finished Muslim
evening prayers at a mosque and answered a call by preachers to protest against
U.S. troops in Iraq.
MORE TROOPS TO BAGHDAD
U.S. troops were widely welcomed for overthrowing Saddam Hussein but many Iraqis
are now anxious for them to go home.
The U.S. military said in Baghdad it was moving reinforcements to the capital.
Major General Glenn Webster said 3,000 to 4,000 infantry and military policemen
would be sent over the next seven to 10 days. The United States already has 12,
000 troops in Baghdad, with 150,000 more in other parts of Iraq.
"The coalition command is the single authority in Iraq at this time and our
purpose is to provide security and stability in the country so the people of
Iraq can elect their own leaders and get the country running again," Webster
told reporters.
He said this was not connected to any specific incident.
U.S. Central Command in Qatar said in a statement that former oil minister
Rasheed had surrendered on Monday. It gave no details.
Rasheed ran Iraq's military industries until becoming oil minister in 1995. His
wife, known as "Dr Germ," is not on the most wanted list but U.S. forces are
keen to interview her about her role in Saddam's alleged attempts to develop
biological warfare systems.
Rasheed was last seen by journalists at Baghdad's Doura oil refinery on March 25,
surrounded by burning pits of oil as bombs fell on nearby Baghdad.
Saddam's fate remain a mystery. His sons Qusay and Uday have also not been found,
nor have the weapons of mass destruction which the United States said were a
major justification for the war.
Key former Iraqi officials in U.S. custody, including former Deputy Prime
Minister Tareq Aziz, say Iraq had no biological, chemical and nuclear weapons
because they had all been destroyed, a U.S. official said in Washington on
Monday.
The official spoke as about 250 prominent members of Iraq's diverse political
and ethnic groupings concluded a meeting in Baghdad at which they agreed to hold
a national conference within four weeks to choose an interim government.
Many of the delegates who attended the talks hailed the agreement as a
breakthrough for democracy.
"This is the start of democracy. Discussions were serious and deep. It is a long
and difficult road but we shall cross it," said one delegate, Hatem Mokhless.
BUSH SAYS U.S. WON'T IMPOSE ITS OWN VALUES
President Bush, speaking on Monday in Dearborn, Michigan, said the United States
had no intention of imposing its form of government or culture on Iraq and
would ensure all Iraqis had a say in the new government.
"Whether you're Sunni or Shia or Kurd or Chaldean or Assyrian or Turkmen or
Christian or Jew or Muslim, no matter what your faith, freedom is God's gift to
every person in every nation," Bush told an audience that included a large
number of Arab and Muslim immigrants to the United States.
U.S. officers in the northern city of Mosul said two of their positions in the
city came under sustained fire on Monday night and they hit back with heavy
machineguns and helicopter gunships. They said at least six suspected
paramilitaries were killed.
Also on Monday, the last U.S. soldier listed as missing in action in Iraq was
confirmed killed in action.
The soldier was identified by the Pentagon as Sgt. Edward Anguiano, based at
Fort Stewart, Georgia. His death brought the U.S. toll to 133.
